The study of mushy-zone deformation in steels is important for limiting defect formation in continuous casting. Here, we usein situsynchrotron radiography to quantify the shear deformation mechanisms of an equiaxed carbon steel at a solid fraction >0.9 and to understand how these mechanisms lead to casting defects. We show that the grain assembly undergoes shear-induced dilation (Reynolds' dilatancy) which opens liquid-filled fissures and cracks at high solid fraction. We further show a complex interaction between grain rearrangement, grain deformation and local coarsening, where rearrangement reduces the grain-grain contact area and coordination number which alters the stress network and also drives coarsening as grains move apart.
